August (2010) is the month for hikers, climbers and mountaineers to invest in some new and longed-for kit. Perhaps you’ve worn out your hiking boots or need a new jacket? For the entire month, members of the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) can claim a  15% discount offer at Tiso stores throughout Scotland.

The offer applies to individual members of the MCofS and to members of clubs with membership of the MCofS.  You’ll need to show your MCofS membership card or a club membership card to be sure of getting a great buy.

The discount is only  valid in stores on full-price products and excludes discounted products, GPS, kayaks, canoes, electrical goods, DVDs and publications.  It cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Full details can be found on the “Short Term Offers” page on the MCofS website.

Mike Dales, MCofS membership development officer, said: “This is a great offer for MCofS members.  Don’t forget to keep  checking our Short Term Offers page for this kind of offer.”

If you didn’t know, the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) acts to represent, support and promote Scottish mountaineering. It boasts 10,500 members and is funded through a combination of membership subscriptions, grants and investment from sportscotland.

Meanwhile Tiso has been in business for 45 years and now has 14  stores throughout the UK.
